Officially an RX8 owner
Well after looking at every rx8 in the tristate area for months i finally bought my first RX-8 and i couldnt be happier! Its a 2009 R3 with just under 4k miles.

Congrats!!!
I searched for an R3 for months, but had negative experiences with the few dealers that had them. Hope they didn't give you hell with last minute "surprise" fees. NJ is known for that, lol.
The handling of the R3 is just amazing. Enjoy the new ride!!!

Very nice. Congrats from another R3 owner.
I missed getting a Red R3 by just hours. I live in Portland, Oregon, and the nearest R3 was in Idaho. I called the dealer and they had closed on it earlier that day.
I eventually found my Blue Streak (as my wife calls it) outside of Salt Lake City.
You're gonna have a great time with yours!

Thanks, yea its only been like 2 weeks with the car and i wouldnt trade it for anything else. There was actually a blue R3 i was looking at that was at a dealership literally right down the road that i liked. But they werent willing to budge on the price nearly as much plus that one had 20k on it compared to the 4k that this car has.

is there a big difference in handling/ride between a grand touring 2010 and an R3?
the R3 sure LOOKS better!!
I'm in the market for one and there are quite a few 2009 and 2010 used R3s in my area... i am trying to setup a test drive of one today or tomorrow...

from what i noticed not a HUGE difference but the R3 definately does ride a whole lot smoother... and you cant beat those recaro seats. I mean the big thing is if you care more about how it rides or the features. In the R3 you lose heated seats, the option for NAV, rain sensing wipers and auto AC.
